Akhilesh Yadav To Meet Chandrashekhar Azad Today; Alliance Talks In Final Stage: Sources

Lucknow: Samajwadi Party (SP) and BHIM Army are also likely to form an alliance in the upcoming assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. BHIM Army President Chandrashekhar Azad reached the Samajwadi Party (SP) office on Friday and met Akhilesh Yadav. According to sources, talks have been going on in the BHIM Army and SP for the past few days on alliance and seat sharing.

It may be recalled that BHIM Army Chief Chandrashekhar Azad had already said that his party has decided that it should come down with an alliance in the UP elections. On the other hand, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav has already said that he will take on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the UP elections by joining smaller parties. So far, Akhilesh Yadav, Suheldev have formed alliances with Bharatiya Samaj Party (SUBHASP), Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Janavadi Party (Socialist), Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD), Apna Dal (Kamerawadi), Progressive Samajwadi Party (Lohia) (PSP), Mahan Dal, TMC.

If Chandrashekhar also joins hands with Akhilesh Yadav after Jayant Chaudhary of RLD, a strong dalit-Muslim-Jat combination in western UP can benefit the SP alliance. Jats may be 4 per cent across UP, but they constitute about 20 per cent of the population in western UP. On the other hand, Muslims are between 30 and 40 per cent and the Dalit community is also more than 25 per cent. In such a situation, the alliance with Chandrashekhar can benefit the SP.

Watch: Satyendar Jainโ€™s jail luxury saga continues, latest footage shows house-keeping service being provided in ministerโ€™s cell

ANI
Satyendar Jain

New Delhi: The latest video that has emerged in a series of purported CCTV footage of Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain inside the Tihar jail, shows house-keeping services being provided to the jail cell of Aam Aadmi Party leader.
The purported footage that emerged according to the sources on Sunday morning was dated September 13, 15 and October 1 in which the visuals show men sweeping the floor of the jail cell and also arranging the Ministerโ€™s bed. In the visuals dated September 12, Jain was seen interacting with other people inside his jail cell. This is ostensibly the fourth CCTV footage that has emerged relating to the jail Delhi Minister. The first purported visuals, which appeared on November 19, showed the Minister getting a full body massage. The second purported footage surfaced on November 23, a day after Jainโ€™s counsel claimed inside the trial court that the Minister had lost 28 kg of weight during his custody. In the footage, Jain was seen having an elaborate and extensive meal. Interestingly, sources had said that the Minister had gained 8 kg weight instead.
In the third purported footage that came out on November 26, the Minister was seen having a conversation with some people, including currently suspended Jail superintendent Ajit Kumar.

Earlier on Saturday, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla slammed AAP over the November 26 video of Jain and termed it as โ€œAAP ka darbar of Bhrashtacharโ€.
Shehzad said this was the third video in the series โ€” first AAP made a โ€˜spaโ€™ in Tihar where Delhiโ€™s health minister Satyendra Jain got a โ€˜maalishโ€™ from a child rapist and AAP labelled it as physiotherapy.
Then he was served 5-course meal but he claimed he was being starved.
Now a video shows how he was allowed to hold a โ€œdarbarโ€ inside jail, he added.
Slamming Delhi chief minister and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal, Poonawalla asked whether Jain was kept as a minister despite getting no relief from courts so that he could do โ€œVasooliโ€ and can also get VIP maalish?
The BJP leader demanded that Satyendra Jain be sacked and Kejriwal should apologise to the entire nation for defending a child rapist as a therapist and insulting physiotherapy.

Earlier on November 22, Shehzad Poonawalla alleged that Arvind Kejriwal and Delhiโ€™s Deputy CM Manish Sisodia were aware of Satyendar Jain getting a massage in jail after a video of the minister had surfaced.
โ€œThe whole matter was in the knowledge of Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, but they are trying to fool the people that this was physiotherapy being done by a rapist,โ€ Shehzad Poonawalla had said while talking to ANI.
Poonawalla had said that the person whom Kejriwal and Sisodia were passing off as a physiotherapist was actually a potential rapist and that too a rapist of young children who is involved in cases and the section 376 of IPC under POCSO Act.
Poonawalla had said that this shows that Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia were not just passing off physiotherapy but actually defending โ€œcorruption therapyโ€.
